Kudos to the letter writer for his condemnation of all four murders in Israel.

All terrorists (Arab and Jewish) are enemies of Israel. They compound a bad situation. But there is a significant and important difference in the attitudes of the vast majority of the people and the behavior of their governments/authorities.

The Israeli people condemn all terrorists. They do not make heroes of their terrorists. The Israeli government pursues all terrorists. In fact, it has found and captured the Jewish terrorists. If convicted, they will be punished like any other terrorist. No streets or buildings will be named after them.

Ever since 1947, Israel, a country the size of New Jersey, has been periodically attacked by neighboring countries hoping to erase Israel from the planet.

That has happened again and again. To everyone's surprise, only 6 million Israelis have been able to fight off their mostly Arab attackers every time and to take more land after each attack. It is obvious that if the Arab countries had not attacked first, there would have been no wars and no occupied land now.

Israel needs defensible borders. If it gives that land back, it could be the end of Israel, and the Arab countries know that. Just as most Arab countries refuse to admit Israel's right to exist, they will never stop trying to destroy all of Israel.

Finally, let me conclude with the fact that if Florida were bombarded with missiles from Cuba for two years non-stop, wouldn't we be fighting back?

LG Electronics USA has shown its true colors by threatening to leave Englewood Cliffs if it does not get its way and be allowed to build a 143-foot office building that will tower over the Palisades.

One reason given by LG for its reluctance to redesign is cost. To start with a new design in another location would cost much more than adapting the design in Englewood Cliffs. Another is the delay that would be caused by the need to redesign (which it had ample opportunity to do over the last 18 months) and the ensuing approval process.
